You can still use Apple partition maps on Intel machines; they work fine.

You can use gpt. GUID partition maps use UUIDs to identify the
partitions and that's what you'll see in the Content Hint strings. You
can use gpt to create a partition for a UUID of your own choosing.
You'll presumably want things to work on Apple Partition maps, GUID
partition maps and possibly MBR partition maps in which case you'll
need to pick appropriate identifiers for each of them.
